[il-talk] Fw: Enter NBP's Annual Poetry Contest!

[Robert Gardner]

National Braille Press (NBP) has a mission to promote Braille, and as such I 
interpret their intent for the contest as aimed at those who know and use 
Braille. I'm not sure if the contest is truly open to those who do not use 
Braille, and I don't know the deadline for entries. I suggest you check out 
the guidelines for the contest as mentioned below. The home website for NBP 
is www.nbp.org.

If the contest is open to non-Braille users, and you are in that category, 
then you would have to find someone or some agency that would convert your 
written text into Braille for you.

Chair, NFBI Braille Literacy Committee

Greetings,
              How does one translate their poem into braille form? And when
is the deadline for entry? Many thanks
